3 Green Workshops in September
LID - Low Impact Development Workshop An alternative approach to site design. Workshop for Developers, Designers, Builders & Regulators
September 19, 2007 - Georgetown, MA
September 26, 2007 - Plymouth, MA
October 3, 2007 - Providence, RI
Why Attend This Workshop? Low-impact development (LID) is an alternative approach to site design that is natural resource based and incorporates a wide variety of low-cost structural and non-structural techniques. LID is a hot topic with state and local permitting agencies throughout the nation. Local zoning laws are being revised to incorporate smart growth and LID provisions. Conventional development using standard engineering practices commonly is a lengthy, time-consuming permitting process that results in sprawl, with environmental impacts and a reduction in real estate values.
This hands-on, practical short course covers land planning principles, design criteria, permitting strategies and uses real case studies.
You will learn how to:
Increase real estate values;
Reduce construction and maintenance costs; and
Reduce permitting time.
